    Pre Match trial of outside area - observations

    Have seen a couple of thoughts on matchday thread, but rather than they being lost there, in case it happens again, worth its own thread I thought I was meeting someone by the Jubilee Gates who had my ticket, arriving over an hour before ko. First steward at 'soft check' perimeter wouldn't...

    Stupid question I know...

    ....but in a moment of weakness (and probably after too much wine) I offered use of my ST to my son in law this weekend. They are visiting, he is football mad(been to many games with us over the years) but living a couple of hours away and 3 young kids, he rarely has the chance to see a game...

    OAP concessions- disappearing at Spurs

    No concessions to new buyers, and current OAP holders saving will reduce over coming years Im surprised at many places the age is still 65 rather than increasing with pension age (now 66), but getting rid of them altogether seems harsh https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68499071

    Non - A question about Ireland, and best book to read

    Having served in the military (albeit it I left over 20 years ago) I've read a couple of books on its history, Easter uprising, the 6 counties, linking of religion to the troubles etc, but in truth I've forgotten most of what I've read, and it was probably before the Good Friday agreement so...

    HT Community draw result?

    Botto didn't call out the draw results at HT on Boxing day, but they did appear on screed during 2nd half. However, was too engrossed in the game, and didnt realise until too late COWS page for results is never up to date, so simple question, anyone know, or have a link to where they may be...

    Looking for 1 x Spurs away

    Annoyingly, our good friends from Scotland who were visiting for Hogmanay, and the reason I scrapped plans to go to the match that day when tickets went on sale, have now cancelled. So I'm left with no visitors, 12 away points but no ticket, with the match sold out. If anyone has one going...

    Non - Smoking/Vaping debate

    Two items out this morning. Tobacco industry clearly looking after its own interests to lobby against the rise in vaping(though Im sure some vaping manufacturers would be owned by tobacco multinationals, that would be logical on their part) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67539543...

    Ticket required v Wolves

    I know, points holders, issues with availability etc etc. But I have promised my ST for the day to my Brother in Law, his only opportunity to catch a game whilst visiting from Oz to effectively say goodbye to his ageing and very poorly Dad. So if anyone isn't using theirs, and is willing to make...

    Non-Lost property

    Got home today to find an empty glasses case in my coat pocket. Of all places, it's most like my glasses fall out of case/pocket whilst sat at the match. I know they sweep/clear up around the seats after after game. Anyone recommend best email to contact, I'm assuming there must be one...

    Fullbacks discussion

    We'll all have our favourite individuals, and as a pairing, Charlie Daniels and Simon Francis will live long as our most successful.pairing, part of our best ever team. BUT, these 2 have the potential to challenge, if not succeed them, if we keep hold of them for a while. Looks a fantastic bit...

    James Maddison

    Whether they are the opposition or not, i always prefer to see players playing with a smile on their face, and joining in a bit of banter with fans. The 'wind-up' when placing ball outside the corner quadrant, and Ive just seen this. Its obviously a lot easier to be like this when youve won...

    Will we ever receive £100m plus for a player

    News this morning, Brighton can improve their infrastructure even more after accepting a reported £111 for Caicedo. Thats on top of the £35 for MacAllister. They are certainly in a position to drive a hard bargain, even more so when they only paid £4m for him 2 years ago So, can you ever...
